Ingrown Hair

A hair can become ingrown if the hair is prevented from growing because of dead skin cells. Developing an ingrown hair is more likely to happen if you have coarse or curly hair. Sometimes hair will grow sideways or will grow out of the skin and curl back in. This can cause itching and, in some cases, an annoying pain. They can be extremely hard to get rid of, and can still remain even if you shave or wax again. Although ingrown hairs are not usually dangerous, they can often be unsightly and embarrassing for people who have them. Some people choose to use tweezers as a form of ingrown hair treatment. However, this can sometimes be very painful and will not effectively prevent further ingrown hairs from occurring. There are products available that can release the hairs, reduce the symptoms, and prevent future ingrown hairs.
